User blog comment:SalemtheCruel/Why I'll probably never make an rpg/@comment-1399757-20110922135351

Salem, you tried ONCE. I've made several RPs myself and some of them picked up while others dropped dead before they started. [Point is, I'd try at least a few more times before speaking about it in another blog.] The same can probably be said of Blue, Llamao, and Corbus, except for when they stick to a general formula with a new concept, so to speak, which they know appeals to everyone. Martin2 was actually the founder of the Redwall Wars Blog back at Redwall Wiki, and Blue used the same formula for a similar blog here. Aside from that it's just getting people's interest and being able to maintain that interest which makes for a successful blog.

Niko, it is pretty annoying when you work hard only to get a few passing glances at your blog, but that's just part of blog-making. People may like some and people may not like others. People also simply do not have the time to join every RP on the wiki. If they did they would be living on the computer! That's why they have to choose between a Blue, Llamao, or Corbus blog and yours, because theirs are currently the top-raters. You have to show your stuff in a way that appeals to everyone and can keep them satisfied for a long time. Even if you already do, you have to wait for awhile for people to join. Publicizing helps sometimes too.
